The Genius Assassin Who Takes it All - Chapter 143

Episode 143: Ulleungdo (3)

* * * Moon Hyeong

-seo’s eyes trembled as he saw the black shadow die before the spatial isolation was lifted.

I got goosebumps.

It wasn’t because I was afraid of Kang-hu.

This is because he ended the black shadow too quickly with a counterattack skill with unexpected firepower.

Hyeongseo Moon had never killed a black shadow with a single blow like that. It was an impossible picture.

The conditions were very difficult to kill a ghost-shaped monster like a black shadow with one hit.

For example, it should be a form of attacking all at once using a large amount of divine power or dark times.

That led to the conclusion that Ganghu could deal with the dark times.

Does this mean that an assassin who is not even level 200 can handle the dark ages?

Dark Age and Holy Power are not called the 7th stat for no reason.

This is because it is so difficult to awaken, and even if awakened, it is very difficult to accumulate a usable amount.

However, Kang-hu seemed to have already had enough of the dark times. I couldn’t believe it.

“Come out slowly. “The situation is over.”

Kang Hu smiled and spoke in the direction where he thought Moon Hyeong-seo was located.

You may be thinking about various things in the space you are quarantined in. You might be wondering what kind of skill it is.

Meanwhile, Ganghu was looking at the dark age stats he had obtained after defeating the black shadow.

【I defeated the ‘Black Shadow’ and obtained the Dark Age stat ’20’, which was activated with a random chance.】

‘It was a real success.’

It makes me smile.

I gained a lot more darkness at once than I expected. Thanks to this, the Dark Age stat became 120.

The reason this stat is so valuable is because the 7th stat cannot be raised by investing points.

It was a stat that could only be raised purely by hunting monsters or acquiring items.

Items with the 7th stat as an option were very rare and difficult to obtain.

In the end, this picture can only be uploaded by defeating the Black Guide or the Black Shadow.

However, since it strictly follows the probability and the probability itself stays in the single digits…

there were more situations in which it would not be obtained than in which it would be obtained.

If you were to hunt this type of monster all day, it would be a lot if it rose by 1.

If you were to focus all of your time on acquiring the Dark Age, it would have been like saving about a month.

In just one battle.

Eventually, Hyung-seo Moon, whose spatial isolation was lifted, returned to her original space and bowed her head towards Kang-hoo.

This is because Master K had asked Shinshin to protect Kang-hoo as if he were treating him himself.

I felt a great sense of self-destruction because I could not live up to the words of the Master who treated me more like a god than a god.

“I’m sorry, Shin Kang-hoo. “It’s my fault.”

It was surprising to see Moon Hyeong-seo, who seemed to not even blink once if her eye was pricked with a needle, showing a weak appearance.

This would mean that K’s request has absolute meaning to him.

However, Kang-hu had no intention of blaming Hyeong-seo Moon.

It was only because the target of the black shadow was Hyungseo Moon that he was spatially isolated.

Conversely, if the black shadow had persistently targeted you, you would have ended up being isolated.

“No need to worry. Anyway, that guy’s choice is a fate. “There is nothing surprising about who is chosen.”

“But…”

“Let’s be thankful that it ended with a happy ending. Thanks to you, I also had some fun.”

Although his level did not increase, Kanghu was satisfied because he gained a lot of experience in one go.

I was particularly pleased with the increase in Dark Age stats.

You will be able to upgrade the power of the Black Moon Cham, which is still powerful enough, to a higher level.

Hyungseo Moon changed the topic, thinking that repeated apologies might actually put a burden on her.

“It was a wonderful response. It was a really neat skill attack. “To the extent that I could not have expected at all.”

I wanted to somehow relieve this awkward atmosphere that I had created.

At this point, I felt ashamed of my sharp response and warning to Kang-hoo during their first meeting.

Hyungseo Moon knew that the skill that Kanghu used to kill the black shadow was no ordinary skill.

I had a guess, but I deliberately didn’t show it. There was no separate mention of skills.

Hyungseo Moon was a person with a heavy mouth. It was thanks to the teachings I received from Master K.

Moreover, since he was a guest that Master K considered special, he did not want to reveal the secret.

Rather, it might be better to hide it. However, I really wanted to show my reverence for Ganghu.

“The timing was good.”

“I’m still a little dazed. “This is a guy who would never come out south of Ground Zero.”

“It doesn’t look like he came down directly. “Someone may have brought him here intentionally.”

“Are you saying it was Hunter’s doing?”

“It’s not impossible. Because black shadows are also intelligent beings. “Maybe there was some kind of agreement with Hunter?”

“Um…”

“It’s all just a guess. In any case, it would be better not to make absolute assumptions going forward. “Nothing is 100%.”

“I will correct it.”

“What about city administration? Give yourself good feedback. “There’s nothing wrong with putting various situations as variables, right?”

“Yes.”

Hyungseo Moon nodded.

Although you are in a situation where you are receiving advice that is not advice from someone whose level is much lower than yours.

I didn’t feel bad or have any pride. Because it was a reasonable statement.

Fortunately.

Thanks to Kang-hoo’s wonderful response, the incident with the black shadow ended in an accident.

Hyungseo Moon made a promise.

As Kang-hu said, he will erase the word impossible from his head when judging based on common sense.

Because I thought it was a very dangerous idea. Because it limits people’s thinking.

In that sense, Kang-hoo’s response this time felt even better. I learned something good.

* * *

There were no major issues after that.

Of course, it was also because both Kang-hoo and Moon Hyeong-seo moved while focusing more on the surrounding border.

In the meantime, I witnessed several hunter gangs arguing and fighting with each other.

Since it was a personal matter, I ignored it and passed by. There is no need to exercise a sense of justice.

Before we knew it, we arrived in front of Kim Shin-ryeong’s villa.

This place was so large that it would be more appropriate to call it a huge hideout in a mansion rather than a villa.

Even if I got into the car at the entrance, it seemed like I had to go a while longer to get inside.

This is because the distance from the main gate to the building that appears to be the actual residence was quite long.

‘There are already some victims.’

When Kang-hu took a quick look inside from the outside, he saw a lot of Hunter’s corpses here and there.

Strangely, there was no smell of a rotting body. Are there special treatments on the fence or interior bushes?

What was unusual was that the dead hunter’s body looked like it was slowly drying out.

It’s as if it slowly absorbs vitality and becomes ‘nutrition’ for something else.

‘Perhaps part of the power of the entire villa’s security surveillance system may be biological.’

Various guesses are possible.

My heart sank as I thought that the entire huge space of the villa was an area for testing.

There was no fear of failure. If you feel like your life is in danger, you can use teleportation.

Of course, if that happens, the next steps will be messed up as he did not pass Kim Shin-ryeong’s test.

at that time.

Hyungseo Moon rang the visitor bell at the front door.

As soon as I rang the bell, I heard a husky female voice.

– Who is it?

“This is Hyungseo Moon. Master K sent it and came with the customer. “I’m ready to see you.”

– Would you like to see the customer’s face?

Kim Shin-ryeong’s voice and tone had a color that could easily be called unlucky, depending on what you heard.

You may be a person who lives in pride, or you may be a person with great pride.

I guess it was good.

Because now is the time when you really need the colorless talisman that can only be obtained from her.

Kang-hoo moved his position to a position where he could be easily seen on the screen and pushed his face forward slightly.

Then there was an immediate response.

– oh? You’re handsome, right? Hyungseo, looking at it like this, it seems like you don’t have any squid.

“…You should definitely say that in a place like this.”

Although Moon Hyung-seo looked embarrassed, he did not think that Kim Shin-ryeong’s words were wrong.

Anyone can see that Kang-hoo has an attractive appearance. He is just an ordinary face.

– I just wanted to see your face. Brother, I will send someone, so you can come in accordingly.

“yes.”

– Our handsome customer must enter according to the rules I have set. Do you agree?

“Of course.”

Ganghu nodded.

– If you feel like you’re going to die, you can always run away. Of course, I don’t plan on ever seeing you again.

“See you later.”

Kanghu excitedly answered with one word.

My memories and research on her have been completed to some extent. The sketch was sufficiently drawn.

and.

Kiyi….

The iron door of the main gate, which had been tightly closed, slowly began to open.

At the same time, a labyrinth area with walls made of dark bushes and thorns appeared not far away.

It was the beginning of a ‘test’ that seemed so difficult that I immediately thought it wouldn’t be easy.

* * *

Hyung-seo Moon followed the guide to a special underground passage and was able to immediately meet Shin-ryeong Kim.

Since Kim Shin-ryeong and Master K had a close relationship with each other, they naturally became close to Moon Hyeong-seo.

Kim Shin-ryeong, who handed Hyeong-seo Moon a cup of warm coffee, asked with curious eyes.

“Why did a gentleman who rarely sends away customers suddenly get into trouble?”

“There is something you want to help with.”

“Oh… you mean that guy who rarely opens his heart to outsiders?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“Can I find out what kind of person he is? “Wouldn’t it be fun to watch from here?”

At the location Kim Shin-ryeong pointed to, dozens of screens were being displayed on a monitor.

They were all screens showing the maze trap area inside her villa in high definition.

It was possible to enlarge the screen as needed and view it from different angles.

It was a structure specialized for watching, so much so that it could be said that it was designed for realistic viewing.

“On the way, I met a black shadow. “I don’t know why, but that’s the way it was.”

“ah? “I heard there have been frequent cases of missing hunters in Ulleungdo over the past few days. I guess it was him who did it?”

Kim Shin-ryeong’s eyes sparkled.

The fact that many hunters had been sacrificed seemed otherwise uninspiring. The same goes for Hyungseo Moon.

In fact, I didn’t think much of it, perhaps because it’s a world where disappearances and deaths are commonplace.

“yes. However, during the initial response process, my inexperience led to spatial isolation.”

“So that guy took on the black shadow one-on-one? What about the black shadow? “Did you run away?”

“no. Dead. “It was split exactly in half with just one attack.”

“Ohh? “Is that possible?”

“yes. “That was possible.”

Kim Shin-ryeong licked her lips with the tip of her tongue without realizing it. It was a unique reaction that occurs when interest is heightened.

But right then.

【Challenger passed the first area.】

A message appeared on the monitor indicating that Kang-hoo had broken through the first trap.

Since this is just the beginning, this is the section where you need to move most carefully. So I expected it would take quite some time.

Ganghu has already passed.

“Look at this guy…?”

The corner of her mouth twitched.

A funny guy has appeared.
